78.8 rounded to the nearest tenths is 78.8

We can not round it to the tenths because it already is rounded to the tenths.

Answer:

The actual SAT score is 2024.

The equivalent ACT score is 29.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

SAT score that is in the 95th percentile

Scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 1511 and a standard deviation of 312, which means that $\mu = 1511, \sigma = 312$
